Chapter 344: Dutch's thoughts on Annan

With the move of Australia to send troops to the Ming Dynasty, the Dutch also seemed to see new hope, because from all indications, there is a problem, that is, the defense of the Australians has weakened, whether it is Dayuan Island or the overseas territory of Southeast Asia, the military defense is relatively empty.

Most of the troops have been transferred to the Ming Dynasty to fight, and only a small number of troops are left in these places to defend, but even then they will not attack easily, although they want to dominate Southeast Asia, but compared to the Australians, their strength is really not enough.

But this did not prevent them from operating in other places, such as the Indochina Peninsula, which had not been infiltrated by other forces, but since the Dutch discovered that Australia had sent troops to the Ming Dynasty, they were also gathering forces to attack Annam.

Their point of attack was mainly on the coast, after all, it was very dangerous to attack the interior, and the Dutch had limited forces, so it would be very good to be able to establish some colonies along the coast, let alone attack other places.

When attacking Annan, they saw that there was a rebellion inside, so they would send troops to attack, and if it weren't for this, they wouldn't have sent troops easily.

This place in Annan can be said to be the backyard garden of Liangguang, the Dutch sent troops here, isn't that looking for trouble, Shen Youlong expressed concern about this, because the Dutch had attacked Penghu, once Annan was occupied, would they harass Liangguang.

Now the main forces of Liangguang are in the north, and the main forces of the Australians are not there, so it is really difficult to say if they really have such an idea.

However, it is certain that they have not yet launched an offensive against Liangguang, and once they know that the main forces of Liangguang are in the north, they may also join in.

Shen Youlong consulted with a group of ministers to discuss the matter of the Dutch sending troops to Annan.

After all, Annan is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and if the Ming Dynasty doesn't ask about this matter, it will be too embarrassing.

So Shen Youlong repaired a letter and asked people to hand it over to the Dutch governor, asking why he wanted to send troops to Annam.

At the same time, he also reflected this situation to Australia, after all, the Dutch are still very jealous of Australia, and their power is not as strong as Australia.

There have always been rumors that Australia is actually the big country in Southeast Asia, and the Dutch are only strong on the surface, but in fact, the power behind the scenes is not as strong as the Australians.

This incident was reflected in Australia, and the Australian cabinet quickly analyzed it, believing that the Dutch should not have such an idea as an autumn breeze.

After all, the Australians can defeat them as long as they return immediately, but the price they have to pay is very large, so it is impossible that there should be such an idea.

The only possibility is that they know that the Australians are likely to send troops after losing to the Manchus, and this possibility is still very high.

Australia, which had lost its troops, did not have the strength to fight against the Dutch, but Spain and Portugal did not make any moves, and they were surprised that Australia was able to touch more than 10,000 troops to participate in the war in Daming.

Helping a country to fight, in the case of interests are not so obvious, this is tantamount to a loss-making business, from the current situation, Australia has indeed paid a lot to help the Ming Dynasty, and the recovery effect is not very large.

If there is anything to be gained, it is that it has received great help on the issue of immigration, and now both Guangxi and Guangxi attach great importance to the issue of immigration, because immigration can bring economic benefits.

At the same time, it can also contribute to solving the local security environment, and the big guys are still willing to do such a thing that kills two birds with one stone.

However, with Australia's entry into the war, a large number of cargo ships have to be used to transport supplies, and the number of immigrants has decreased, which is a bit contrary to the big migration plan proposed at that time, but there is no way to do it, the more people will be transported to Australia, the pressure on the government will increase, this is certain.

Although Australia has a vast territory, this does not mean that he has the ability to support so many people, after all, the population is based on the actual social situation, if the social capacity is not good, it will be a big threat to the whole Australia.

So considering the current situation, the Australian government did not rush to let them migrate immediately.

However, in response to the current question of Shen Youlong's reaction, the Australian government still gave an answer, telling him to wait and see what happens, be ready to send troops, and don't need to pay too much attention to dealing with the Dutch, because they don't have many troops.

To maintain such a large territory, it is not possible to do it with a little force, after all, Annam is not one of those small countries in Southeast Asia, they have troops in their hands, and their combat effectiveness is much higher than that of those natives.

If Annan asks for help like the Ming Dynasty, then the Ming Dynasty can just take this as a request and let it pay certain benefits, such as those lands that have been occupied in name in fact, and smoothly divide them into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

It is impossible to merge the entire Annan into the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty did this at the beginning, but in the end it was given up, not to mention that at this time, the Manchus are still watching in front, if they are incorporated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty at this time, it is equivalent to erecting one more enemy, which may be used by the Manchus.

At this time, Van Dimen was still complacent about his actions, because judging from various circumstances, neither Daming nor Australia had the energy to occupy this place by themselves, so he could continue to occupy this place without any scruples, no matter what they thought now, he had completed the actual nominal occupation.

If the Australians want to occupy this place, they have to fight, do they have the strength to fight with themselves at this time, obviously they don't, so it can be said that it is very safe to occupy these places now, and there is no need to worry about anything.

Even the forces from within Annam do not need to worry, because they are in internal strife, the two sides are at loggerheads, and as long as they express their support for their side, they will be very satisfied with themselves.

Van Diemen's idea was too simple, neither Australia nor the Ming could not have a view on his occupation of Annan, a joint statement was in the making, and in due course, Australia decided to send troops to educate him, so that he knew that Australia was capable of teaching him a lesson even if he was fighting at the front.

Therefore, it was a little too early for him to be happy at this time, anyway, Australia sent more than 10,000 troops and transferred 500 troops to teach the Dutch a lesson, which was not difficult at all, not to mention that there were some local troops in Liangguang.
